Colossians 2:8
ח הִזָּהֲרוּ שֶׁאִישׁ לֹא יוֹלִיךְ אֶתְכֶם שׁוֹלָל בְּפִילוֹסוֹפְיָה וּבְתַעְתּוּעֵי הֶבֶל, עַל–פִּי מָסוֹרוֹת שֶׁל בְּנֵי אָדָם, עַל–פִּי עִקְּרֵי הָעוֹלָם וְלֹא עַל–פִּי הַמָּשִׁיחַ.
Colossians 2:8
2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. (NASB)
There are parallels in the Torah to the concept of being wary of being spoiled through philosophy, as mentioned in Colossians 2:8. We read the outcome of being spoiled indicated by what Moshe says in Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32 regarding adding to or subtracting from the commands. These verses emphasize the importance of adhering strictly to God’s commandments and not being swayed by external philosophies or teachings. These passages highlight the importance of remaining faithful to God’s word and not being led astray by external influences, aligning with Paul’s warning in Colossians 2:8 about being cautious of philosophy and empty deceit. This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
